Romano explains Curtis Jones absence v MonacoJust over an hour prior to kick-off on Sunday, Fabrizio Romano took to X with an explanation as to why Jones didn’t feature for Liverpool this afternoon. The Italian posted: ‘Curtis Jones, out of Liverpool squad today as he’s not even on the bench. #LFC informs it’s precaution for the midfielder still wanted by Inter (priority target) and more clubs this summer.’ The 44-year-old is sure to be asked about the player’s absence in the coming hours, and hopefully it’s nothing more than a precautionary exclusion today, rather than a sign of an impending exit for our number 17.
